The Case Discussed by the Vice
President Of the Baptist Union.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-A special from Lon
don to the Herald quotes Rev. Mr.. Spur
geon as saying: "My holiday will not be in
America. where / never have been and never
expect to go, because l am too busy here's
but where l have beloved friends and cor
respondents whose approval of my recent
course l shall be glad to hear. l said moth

per, such as you can see in the denomina-
tional Sword and Trowel. in the coming No
vember issue of which | say much. But
doubtless all that is worth knowing as to my
movements and reasons has been already ca
bled to New York;
DR.. John Clifford, vice president of the
Baptist Union. we'll known in America, was
interviewed on the subject of Mr.. Spurgeon's
withdrawal. and said: ''It is clear that, like
Luther, Mr.. Spurgeon feels that he can dc
naught else than withdraw Conscience
bids him, and he 6beys. All our traditional
Baptist principleg constrain us to honor Mr..
Spurgeon for his mswerving fidelity to his
conviction of duty, and to believe that,
though the act be for the moment unspeaka-
bly, hurtful, vet if the truth gain all will
gain, the Baptist Union included. Mr..
Spurgeon accompanies his retirement with
the following six allegations: That some
persons are allowed to remain in the Union
who make light OF the atonement, deny the
personality of the Holy Ghost, call the fall a
fable, speak of justification by faith as i'm
moral, refuse credence to the dogma of the
plenary inspiration of the Holy Scriptures,
and hold that there is another probation af-
ter death, with possibilities of a future res
titution of the lost Mr.. Spurgeon says that
ali Unions begin to look like confederacies
of evil This is aigrave charge indeed. Take
the British Baptist Union only, it consists
of two thousand churches, with pastors and
communing membership of over two hum
dred Thousand. Are these churches and
pastors federated together in the union in
evil? MIR, Spurge0n states his case with
great energy but what does he prove? No
books are cited, no sermons are quoted, nc
papers read at the union are put in evidence
no addresses given at its meetings are ad.
yanced. not solitary man, not solitary
church is named. But supposing Mr.. Spur.
geon really had case and his Indictment
could be proved, his withdrawal the best
service that can be rendered, not to the Bap-
tist Union only, but to the Kingdom OF
Heaven, for which the Baptist Union ex.

Especial to the Press.]


HALIFAX, Oct. 31.-The Canada & At
lantic Steamship Company has been organ
lied in this city to run line of first class
passenger steamers between Charlottetown,
Halifax and Boston. The boats are now
building on the Clyde. They are to have a
speed of Is knots and make the run between
Halifax and Boston in "a hours. They will
be 14O0 tons burden. accommodate 400 pas
sengers and cost 100000 each. They will
he run all the year round. The local COM
pany will do large coastwise trade between
Halifax, Port Hawkesbury and Charlotte
town, which the Boston company, running
the Worcester and Carroll, are prohibited
from doing. These boats, in speed and ac-
commodation, are to compete with the Var
mouth and International lines, which have
drawn very large amount of business from
Halifax. OF the purchase money of the
steamers, the Scotch builders take $500, 900
in capital stock, guaranteed at per cent.
One boat will be commanded by Capt. Ian
way of the Fishery Protection Service; the
other by Capt. Hill of the Furness line
steamer Ulunda.

ing lands in this State, in favor Of the Cor
bin Banking Company Of New York, and
the Scottish Land Company, mature soon,
and there is much discussion as to whether
something cannot be done to prevent fore
closure, by which the lands would pass into
the hands of these alien companies. The
rate is from 10 to 20 per cent, and the farmers
in nine cases out Of ten are unable to pay
any Of the principal. The State Legislature
will be urged to enact some measure to pro
tect the unfortunate farmers, and 1t Is
thought that the mortgages can be declared
void on the ground of usury.
